And I am grateful for it.
The New York Jets are always gonna New York Jets.
Today is no exception:
And made team history in the process.
There’s a lesson to be learned from a coach getting fired after starting a season 2-3.
There’s no shame in losing to the Minnesota Vikings.
As it stands, they’re the best team in football.
No, this has nothing to do with Jets' ownership.
At least not in the sense of who bought the team and writes all the checks.
In a de facto sense, the person who owns the Jets is Aaron Rodgers.
Robert Saleh has been working for him since he signed on in the spring of 2023.
And the lesson I mentioned earlier?
The Jets hired Nathanial Hackett to make Rodgers happy.
They signed five of his former Packer teammates to make Rodgers happy.
Especially his close pals Randall Cobb and Allen Lazard to make Rodgers happy.
And someone not named Aaron Rodgers has to pay the price.
That’s what giving absolute power to an employee does to a billion dollar operation.
Not that Saleh is without fault here.
As Brian Baldinger points out, even the most basic fundamentals of this team are a mess.
From Rodgers, first and foremost.
There’s not a chance he comes clean and admits this was his call.
All the talk will be about how this came from the top.
It was an organizational decision.
Doing what’s in the best interest of the team.
They needed a fresh approach.
And they know that we know.
A season where once again, the Jets are the most entertaining team of them all.
Don’t ever change, you crazy kids.
